Pilea peperomioides 'baby'
The package contains a plant in a plastic pot. Attention! In the product photo, the plant is photographed in a 6 cm pot. We have a plant in stock in a 9 cm pot.
About the plant:
Pilea peperomioides has several names. We can find it as the so-called Missionary plant (due to its historical pilgrimage), chinese money plant or pancake plant - the last two earned the specific round shape of its leaves. They resemble pancakes or pennies, so the plant should bring you wealth and happiness.
It is an evergreen semi-succulent plant of the nettle family. It comes from the Chinese province of Yunnan and, as we already mentioned, its history resembles a novel. It was discovered several times and then forgotten until it finally caught on among Nordic growers. It is therefore a plant that was only propagated at an amateur level and was known to botanists only from the 1980s.
